Shoshone County officials discuss future plans Pt. 1
WALLACE –– Now that Election Day has come and gone, what can the residents of Shoshone County expect from their recently elected officials?
Prosecuting Attorney Benjamin Allen, who ran unopposed, has been exceptionally busy over the past few years. With area law enforcement doing a solid job attacking crime in the county and its cities, Allen’s office has had the tremendous task of prosecuting these crimes and keeping the public safe.
“My primary goal for this upcoming year is to get the attorney base in my office to full staff,” Allen said. “Staffing attorneys has been an issue that has plagued the area since my last election and continues to be an issue here in Shoshone. Staffing can be impacted by a number of factors, most notable of which is workforce availability. When positions require prerequisite credentials, such as that of an attorney where both a doctorate degree in law and passage of the State Bar Exam serve as gatekeepers to the profession, the pool of potential applicants narrows significantly.”
